The migraine with which the lay public is familiar involves headache and sometimes involves having a warning called an aura. The aura can be many things.

In more severe cases a coma may last for over five weeks, while some have lasted as long as several years. After this time, some patients gradually come out of the coma, some progress to a vegetative state, and others die. Some patients who have entered a vegetative state go on to regain a degree of awareness. Others remain in a vegetative state for years or even decades (the longest recorded period being 42 years). The outcome for coma and vegetative state depends on the cause, location, severity and extent of neurological damage.
